A common thread has been taller, stronger players in the paint for whom we have no real center to defend. They control our offensive paint and we don't control theirs. That's why in those situations you must make it a full-court game, as we cannot defend nor can we run an effective half-court offense against real bigs. Therefore, the solution is to press and run and neutralize, on both sides of the court, the effects of the big men in the middle for whom we have no answer.
